that a victory of the first kind
is necessary to ensure an hon

ing was reinforced in my own
mind by my recent trip to
Vietnam for the Senate Armed
Services Committee
TWO STEPS
THERE ARE "two steps"
which the United States can
take to bring us closer to vic
tory.
FIRST, UE MIST BOMB
all the strategic and military
targets which exist throughout
North Vietnam. It is true that,
prior to the recent truce, we
were bombing in North Viet
nam virtually every day.
NEVERTHELESS, THE FSE
of airpower alxive the DMZ
(demilitarized zone i is of little
consequence if it is not cal
culated to eliminate the war-
making potential in the North
The question is not one of
merely increasing either the
scale or the frequency of the
bombing attacks Rather, it is
one of making a more selec
tive choice of targets and
concentrating the a t tacks
where they are calculated to do
the most damage to our f<H^
MILITARY TARGETS
UE CANNOT ASK Amer
ican fighting men to n>k their
lives to damage one span of a
relatively innocuous bridge,
while more important target-
are left unlou< bed Our bomb
ings should !>e aimed at all ob
vious military target.-, -uch as
airfield-, troop concent rat ion-
and military convoy- It would
also include certain basic war
industries such as f>etroleurr
storage dump.-, steel mills,
cement factories, and power
generating facilities. amonr
others North Vietnam should
be notified of this policy so
( ivilians can evacuate these
a re as
the second essential
step must be to close all the
ports In North Vietnam. The
most notorious of the**e, of
course, is Haiphong. It i* moat
important that Haiphong be
closed. But there are others a*
well through which supplies
and material are received; and
they should also be closed.
PORTS CAN BE CIXJSED
by bombing, embargoing, or
mining. The weight of military
opinion leans toward mining
the port; ?s the most efficient
and quickest method possible
UE HAVE JUST BEGUN
mining be rivers in the north,
but this operation is aimed
VIETNAM
principally at light native river
traffic. It will not have any
effect u[>on the major sources
of supply reaching the country.
This operation only affects the
distribution of supplies which
have already arrived.
CLOSING THE PORTS
ACCORDING TO RECENT
ovt incites, 120,(XX) to 200,000
tons of goods a month are be
ing sent to North Vietnam.
Almost all of this comes in by
-hip. It is further reported that
me Soviet ship docks at Hai-
phong every other day. This
sea traffic will undoubtedly in
crease >ince the internal dis
turbances in China have halted
ail shipments across the con
tinent Moscow and Hanoi
should l>e put on notice that
North Vietnam's ports are to
ae mined, and that further sup
ply ships enter the harbors at
their own risk.
THESE TWO STEPS—more
selective bombing and cloalng
the ports of North Vietnam—
would, in my judgment, hasten
the conclusion of the war ir
Vietnam.
THE UNITED STATES has
unquestionably shown the
enemy, if it needed to, that we
have the power to win the war
in Vietnam; and yet the enemy
persists Obviously the enemy
is not convinced that the
United States has the will to
use that power in the manner
necessary to bring the war to a
successful conclusion. We must
convince them that not only
do we possess the requisite
jxiwer. Injt that we also possess
the necessary will. A display of
will is as necessary as a dis
play of [X)wer

CAPITOL,

/iLZji
From the Office of GOVERNOR ROBERT E. McNAIR
The toll of deaths and ac
cidents on our highways is one
of the greatest tragedies of our
times and one of the most dif
ficult problems faced by South
('arol ina.
Although we cannot expect
to achieve the safety record we
desire overnight, or even in
one year, I can report that
progress is being made in sev
eral important areas.
Within the week, the Gover
nor’s Traffic Safety Advisory
Committee met and endorsed
measures which promise to ac
celerate our total effort. The
Committee gave unanimous
support to the stiff* r enforce
ment program which we earlim
recommended to the General
Assembly.
By bringing together expeils
and advisors from many fields,
we are putting together a Stato
Safety Program which will
t a c k I e immediate problems
and provide prevention U-ch n i -
(pies for the future. According
to a spokesman for the N'at-
• ■nal Safetv Gouncil. South
Carolina is far ahead of other
stat“- in this planning. Once
again. w<- have the opportunity
to demonstrate that given ade-
Light-hearted salad
quate resources, we can effect
ively deal with problems at the
state level. T am hopeful that
South Carolina will take the
lead in this and other projects
which can result in a more
meaningful role of state gov
ernments in an age of federa'
expansion.
One of the key features of
the new StaU- Safety Program
's a “total involvement” con
cent which will affect all of
nor communities and every in
i’ ideal driver.
The interest that is being
